Sir David also selected the Londonscape and the Newyorkscape for the suites. The designs were then transformed into a large tile murals which were installed in the luxurious penthouse ensuite bathrooms.
The Beijingscape design features a montage of some of Beijing’s most glorious landmarks including the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, hutongs and more modern features including the Olympic stadium and skyscrapers.
The Beijingscape in situ, the mural wraps itself around the back wall of the ensuite with mirrors filling the rest of the space.
Dominic’s Londonscape design was used to great effect across the wall of this large ensuite that resembles a window overlooking a fantasy London.
The Newyorkscape design is seen here behind this beautiful bath tub which gives scale to this huge tile mural.
Sir David Tang was impressed by Dominic’s Londonscape mural seen on a tour of the Boundary Hotel by Sir Terence Conran and subsequently got in touch to work with Dominic on a series of Penthouse suites. Sir David being an avid collecter and designer himself had outfit an entire suite in the Boundary in his luxurious modern Chinoiserie style (view images).
